Mission Statement

The Office of Disability Services at Brandman University is committed to ensuring equal educational access and opportunity for all members of our academic community. The Office strives to maximize each student's educational potential by helping to develop self-advocacy, responsibility, and independence, and to promote personal growth. Students will be provided timely, efficient, and equitable accommodations and service that are in compliance with Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)/Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act of 2008 (ADAA). The Office works individually with each student to develop the most effective and comprehensive accommodation plan possible. In addition to providing direct service to our students, The Office of Disability Services also acts as a liaison between students, administrators, faculty, and other staff members to ensure the facilitation of accommodation plans that are reasonable and appropriate.
